[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a guy but I believe pretty firmly in meeting - a low cost (in time and money) meeting in person - pretty quickly.  Not a lot of online back and forth.  Meet someplace public (and safe) and find out right off the bat if you have attraction and can engage in conversation.  You get to validate how accurate (current) their pictures are, whether or not there is attraction (so much communication is not verbal or written and photos don't always convey everything - people sometimes look different in person) and whether or not they can connect with you.  Written messages (email or texting) can be heavily curated and phone conversations can also be misleading.  No need for a full blown date, just coffee (or a drink), and an excuse to skedaddle quickly if needed.  [/quote]

Met someone online when I was single, went back and forth on the phone for two weeks and fell in love with the person's voice. When we finally met in person, there was zero physical attraction.[/quote]
